MONTEREY COUNTY HOMELESS
SERVICES RESOURCE GUIDE

April 2015
Coalition of Homeless Services Providers
The Coalition of Homeless Services Providers is the County’s designated
Continuum of Care Coordinator (CoC). A CoC represents the totality of
services and housing available to individuals and families in
crisis/homelessness within a defined region. Monterey and San Benito
Counties recently merged CoCs in order to create an integrated, regional
approach to addressing homelessness. In 2009, new federal legislation
was enacted by Congress called the HEARTH (Homeless Assistance,
Rapid Transition to Housing) Act – which built upon the former
McKinney-Vento legislation, but with a renewed focus on prevention and
a systems-wide (at all levels-Federal, State & Local) approach to
addressing and ending homelessness. In response, in Monterey and
San Benito Counties, a new, HEARTH Act-compliant 10 Year Plan to
End Homelessness (Plan) called Lead Me Home, was developed and
adopted in late 2012 with representative input and guidance from local
Counties’ Depts. Of Social Services, Behavioral Health, Public Health,
Public Housing, Business and Civic Community, Law Enforcement,
Justice, Community-Based Service Providers and Affordable Housing
Developers, Targeted Population Government Services (Veterans,
seniors, schools, youth) and local Elected Officials.

The Community Action Partnership (CAP)
was established in 1964 during President
Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” CAP funding
today is drawn down through Community
Services Block Grants. The CAP is
designated by the County Board of
Supervisors to specifically provide a focal
point to coordinate and plan for the provision
of community services that support, assist,
and empower low-income people and to
improve their quality of life. The CAP
engages in three major activities to achieve
this mission: contracting with nonprofit and
public agencies for services, collaborating
with community stakeholders, and supporting
educational community activities.

In partnership with the Coalition of Homeless
Service Providers, the Community Action
Partnership has compiled this guide to assist the
community in connecting to resources that serve the
homeless and at-risk populations in Monterey
County.
This guide to homeless services in Monterey
County is comprised of public and non-profit
resources. The guide is not exhaustive and every
effort has been made to include accurate and
current information. Services in the community are
frequently changing and the details regarding
specific services provided should always been
confirmed directly by the individual agency. The
inclusions of services into this guide do not imply
recommendation or endorsement.
